Escitalopram - How does this help social isolation depression?

Living in a small community, experienced all kinds of occupations, 2 colleges and 2 universities, out in the public with people now,, chronologically challenged just dont fit. Shy when it is centred on me but outgoing with anyone else. Uncomfortable about going places by myself. "How come she doesnt have a husband/boyfriend?" I know what I would do if the shoe was on the other foot but this area does not provide anyone to do that for me. Dr. put me on that drug but wondering if it really is appropriate for me.

Hi Skwerrlee-We all do not fit the same mold. You are you and a good person, let people say what they want. You will only know if Escitalopram is appropriate for you if you try it and you feel better. It can take 4-6 weeks if not longer to reach a therapeutic level. But it could happen sooner. You can research the many antidepressants that are available. Maybe talk to your doctor that you are wondering if it is really appropriate for you.Wishing you the Best :)

I guess I just wanted a miracle! Nite before last too the 1/2 tab then awake til 5:00AM then last nite had anosther 1/2 slept pretty well all nite but after feeding the cat and taking my bp med back to bed til 2:00PM, up for breakfast then around 4:00PM needed a little "doze-off" then went outside to to refill bird feeder,, also take more kitty litter from trunk of car and presently I feel pretty good. Makes me nervous to haves to take that med to 1 month to get "normal" - what to do!!! If I could only get a job!! but at this age, who can! Maybes I should invent a business and become amillionaire!! ... thanks janiebme for talking to me!!!
